Abstract
The novel pyrazines, (E)- and (Z)-5-methyl-3-(2-methylbutyl)-2-(3-methylbut-1-enyl)pyrazine, (E)- and (Z)-5-methyl-3-isopentyl-2-(3-methylbut-1-enyl) pyrazine, (E)- and (Z)-5-methyl-3-(2-methylbutyl)-2-(3-methylpent-1-enyl)pyrazine, (E)- and (Z)-5-methyl-3-isopentyl-2-(3-methylpentl-enyl) pyrazine, together with the known pyrazines, 2,5-dimethyl-3-(2-methylbutyl)pyrazine and 2,5-dimethyl-3-isopentylpyrazine, have been identified from the head of the Australian ponerine antRhytidoponera metallica. Alkanes and alkenes, in small amounts, were also detected.Keywords
